"Sweetie, why did you suddenly want to keep a beast?" When Old Madam Zhan was waiting for Sheng Weiqiao's answer, Sheng Lanci asked anxiously, "Could it be that someone bullied you?"
"You bet!" Sheng Weiqiao said angrily, "Little Five is so bad! I used to feed it on the way to Chang'an before, but it was still friendlier to Mizhen than it was to me when I went to see it with Mizhen the day before yesterday! So I have to keep a beast that can slap it down and give it a good lesson!"
She thought it was just a trivial matter and her family wouldn’t refuse this small request.
However, Sheng Lanci frowned upon hearing this. After exchanging glances with Madam Feng’s sister and the others, he said in a gentle tone, "Sweetie, Little Five has been with Mizhen for many years after all. You just have fed it for several months. So it naturally still cares more about Mizhen! As long as it doesn't hurt you, why should you make a fuss about those triv
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what her husband had imagined from a lion cat. Although she felt disappointed that the beast which could help her slap down Rong Shuihe and Little Five became a docile lion cat, she didn't get angry at all. There were three reasons. Firstly, it was picked by her grandfather and Old Marquis Xu who even didn't have their lunch. Secondly, her father almost begged her to accept it. Thirdly, this lion cat was pretty and she liked it very much.So after returning to Prince Mizhen Mansion, she asked Jinli to send two little maids to serve that little lion cat. "It's best that they have kept cats before. They should know how to raise a cat."Jinli agreed and was about to do it while Sheng Weiqiao asked again, "Last time, I asked you to pick two more maids to help you... Do you have any candidates?""Yes, I do. But I am not very sure about what kind of maids you want, so there are ten more candidates." Jinli said cautiou
"He is known as the genius from Shuzhong where he used to live in. It is said that he is the son of Huang Xianyun. I've heard some news about Huang Xianyun, but I am not familiar with Huang Ziyue." Madam Qi understood what Sheng Weiqiao meant. She shook her head and said, "Huang Ziyue is both a genius and the Number Two Scholar at the court examination. Of course, all the news about him is positive. Now my father-in-law intends to promote this marriage and of course he praises Huang Ziyue. My parents and brothers of my original family are just normal people. They will never refuse it. But..."She hesitated for a while and continued with a little embarrassment, "But, you know. There has been no third person between me and your Eldest Brother over the years. Although I know this is rare, Jianan is my own daughter. I hope she can marry well."Madam Qi looked a little dark, "Even if they can't be the same as us, at least her husband should know the prior
After a short discussion, the Sheng Family all agreed that it was acceptable. It was mainly because Senior Master Sheng had been in Beijiang for many years and had a natural affection to the man in the army. Moreover, with the ten-year age gap, he might be more considerate and tolerant towards 16-year-old Sheng Weirao.Moreover, Old Madam Ming also indirectly expressed her approval. She thought that the social mood in Beijiang was relatively open and didn't pay much attention to women's chastity... It was poverty there, far from being rich like the central district. Many people were satisfied if they could have a wife. So there were not so many rules.As for the hardships of Beijiang, Sheng Lanci said, "It seems hard. Luxury goods such as silk and jewelry have been sent there constantly for many years. People there still bedeck with plenty of gold and silver, being noble and bejeweled on the grassland! The lower classes truly have a tough life. If We
"You want to know what I said to Mizhen today, right?" Rong Qingzhuo, in the Gaomi King Mansion, also asked Gaomi King the same question.Seeing Gaomi King kneading his temples wearily, Rong Qingzhuo went up to him immediately for a massage. Obviously, his skillful hands showed that Rong Qingzhuo had always been serving Gaomi King like this.With Rong Qingzhuo doing the massage, Gaomi King put down his hands, staring, in an unthinking way, at the gold pot with patterns of God of longevity, bamboos, and heron in front of him. The pot was one of the presents sent by Rong Qingzhuo and his wife for the birthday of Gaomi King several years ago.Although Gaomi King had a beloved golden pot rewarded by the Deceased Emperor on his desk, he replaced the golden pot immediately to show that he thought highly of and loved Rong Qingzhuo.This replacement demonstrated Gaomi King's firm and thoughtful support to Rong Qingzhuo, Gaomi King’s
Thinking over and over, Gaomi King felt worried still. After a long hesitation in the study, he couldn't help but go to Xiangji Hall in the end.Hearing that Gaomi King was here, Princess Gaomi frowned a bit. "We have been together for so many years. We even had lived apart since the ‘epidemic’ several years ago, and we would not meet with each other after nightfall. How come he is here now?" Princess Gaomi wondered to herself."It must have to do with Shuihe." Thinking for a while, Princess Gaomi told Nanny Zhao, "Otherwise, he would not rush to me at this time of night."Nanny Zhao thought so as well, "His Highness knows your temper. You have to hear him out no matter what he says. If you can't agree with him for real, His Highness would certainly not go against your will."Nanny Zhao was afraid that Princess Gaomi would have a bitter quarrel with Gaomi King before she knew the whole thing."Fine. It depends."
Early the next morning, Princess Gaomi received a report saying that Rong Shuihe asked for permission to make a visit. She guessed that Rong Shuihe came here to tell her about going to Xijiang, and he did do that then."You always have my support. You are allowed to do anything you want." In the Xiangji Hall last night, Gaomi King was reminded of the past. So did Princess Gaomi.The past made her so depressed that she was in no mood to suggest Rong Shuihe that he should not spoil his wife too much. She only asked about the situation in Xijiang and whether he needed help. And then, she just let him go.Rong Shuihe was a little surprised that Princess Gaomi didn't prevent him from going to Xijiang. But, since he had already married Sheng Weiqiao, the Gaomi King Family was useless now, as well as Princess Gaomi. So he didn't take that seriously because there were still a lot of things he should deal with.He went to the Sheng M
Sheng Weiqiao was holding Twelfth Lady in her arms and stroking it, while Li Shengxu was hiding behind her and trying to play with Little Five. Hearing Rong Shuihe's words, Li Shengxu yelled, "How can you say that? I am your cousin. Besides, we even went to Nanfeng County by boat together. For this reason, why can't I come to your mansion to visit my sister-in-law?"Hearing him calling Sheng Weiqiao sister-in-law, Rong Shuihe's dissatisfaction eased a little. He snorted, "You shouldn't come here now! I've just been married for a few days. Grand Princess Wuyang ought not to let you come."Then, he looked at the servant with suspicion, "Why didn't anyone tell me you are here when I just got back?"The servant was startled, trying to make an explanation. Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao turned around and said, "It is reasonable that the servant in the front door knew nothing. Shengxu came in through the back door. He just arrived, so they didn't
Hearing the flirtation, Sheng Weiqiao changed the subject immediately with a sudden guilty conscience. In a flash, she put several questions, including the illness of the Empress, the reason why Gongsun Xi insisted on being a bodyguard in the Wangchun Palace, and the whereabouts of Shen Jiuniang. "You told me before that you would let me know all these. But you keep everything from me until now. You liar." Sheng Weiqiao questioned Rong Shuihe."The Empress is in good health." Rong Shuihe said in a calm voice, "I think that the Empress must have no choice but to say she was ill because she neither wanted to be pushed around by nor turned a deaf ear to the Empress Dowager openly. You witnessed the whole drama that day, right? The Empress Dowager, asking the whole thing herself, was embarrassed all over by the Noble Consort Shu and Consort Shu. If the Empress had been there, the thing could only have gotten worse against her for sure."Thinking for a wh
